Configuring a service to listen on only one IP address

The MultiNet master server does not offer the ability to specify the
address that a service should listen on.

Process Software MultiNet V5.1 Rev A-X, COMPAQ AlphaServer DS20E 666
MHz,
OpenVMS AXP V8.3

I'm doing some tests with Samba on this system and I have the SMBD
service
configured as follows:

MultiNet Server Configuration Utility V5.1(42)
[Reading in configuration from MULTINET:SERVICES.MASTER_SERVER]
SERVER-CONFIG>show/full smbd
Service "SMBD":
TCP socket (AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM), Port 445
Socket Options = SO_KEEPALIVE
Flags = UCX_SERVER
INIT() = TCP_Init
LISTEN() = TCP_Listen
CONNECTED() = TCP_Connected
SERVICE() = Run_Program
Program = "SAMBA_ROOT:[BIN]SMBD_STARTUP.COM"
Log for Accepts & Rejects = OPCOM
Username = "SAMBA$SMBD"

The system also has these interfaces defined:

Interface Adapter CSR Address
Flags/Vector
--------- ------- -----------
------------
se0 (Shared VMS Ethernet/FDDI) -NONE- -NONE-
-NONE-
[TCP/IP: 192.168.1.2, IP-SubNet: 255.255.255.0]
[VMS Device: EIA0, Link Level: Ethernet]
se1 (Shared VMS Ethernet/FDDI) -NONE- -NONE-
-NONE-
[TCP/IP: 192.168.2.2, IP-SubNet: 255.255.255.0]
[VMS Device: EIB0, Link Level: Ethernet]
pd0 (Secondary Ethernet Address) -NONE- -NONE-
-NONE-
[TCP/IP: 192.168.1.5, IP-SubNet: 255.255.255.0,
IP-Broadcast: 192.168.1.255]
[Hardware-Device: se0]

The "pd0" interface was created specifically for Samba testing purposes.

Can I configure the SMBD service to listen *only* on that interface?

Thanks,
